Eyebrows made of sea waves graced her face. Sea waves also showed as thin wrinkles in the middle of her forehead.
Above the eyebrows, her skin was a lavender sky with her husband, Sula, bright and shining there. A single sea shell lay at her throat as a necklace. Across her breasts, a rainbow ran like a Chinese fan, small at one end but widening into a magnificent rainbow at the other end. Two purple beauty marks at her belly button showed her twin children at full moon.
Stunning mountains were her hips, topped with the whitest snows ever seen. The skin of her back, bottom and below the mountainous hips, down and around legs and feet were full of everything imaginable on the ground. Animals, mammals, sea life, trees, bushes, flowers, lakes, ponds, streams, rivers, vines, forests, caves, plains, deserts, oceans; they wildly covered the bottom half of her luscious body.
The top half was covered in everything imaginable from the sky; comets, clouds, stars, birds, dragons, planets, butterflies. Millions of sparkles covered her entirely causing the colors of her body to riotously move in constant motion.
She glittered so much it was hard to look directly at her. Putting her hands on her hips, shaking her head in sorrowful anger, Mother Edla pointed a finger at the battlefield. In a deep, earthy voice, she said, “I will NOT allow this to happen to my children!”
“You have gone against the Prophecy, trying to stop what is destined to happen. It is for the GOOD of ALL! It will finally bring PEACE and UNITY to the children of my land. You are my children who need to be taught what is best for you!”
“If you value your lives, your futures and the futures of your children and your children’s children, you will listen, learn and thrive.” Mother Edla mumbled something in the mist, beginning to shrink in size!
Chapter 40
When she was about the height of Kahira, she walked to her. Kahira was on hands and knees above Tenai. She pulled the spear from his body. With tears streaming down her cheeks, she wordlessly keened her mourning song.
Mother Edla knelt, putting a hand softly to her cheek. Kahira watched, tears rolling down her cheeks, wondering how she would go on. Without the other half of her soul, she was not one. She was broken, unable to survive without Tenai beside her.
Edla held her hand over Tenai’s heart and a strong light issued from her palm. Kahira could feel its warmth. She knew inside her mind it was some type of electric current. Edla pulled her hand back to rest it in her other hand, Tenai opened his eyes, looking at Kahira. “What happened?” he queried.
Kahira’s eyes overflowed with joyous tears! She gave thanks to Mother Edla for this wondrous gift! Edla stood to look again at her children on the battlefield. She then slowly drifted back into the mist and it flowed down into the ground once more.
A new era began. Kahira and Tenai were the first King and Queen on Edla. They wed and soon the Princess would be born! She would be unique to the entire planet of Edla… born with the blood of all three tribes of Edla flowing in her veins!
Kahira felt the start of fulfillment of her destiny. She knew exactly what it was!
It was imperative to wipe out the ancient law regarding inbreeding and marriage only to another in the separate tribes. If two were fated to be soul mates, destiny should not be denied because of bigotry, fear or archaic boundaries.
She and Tenai had a hard road to follow to fulfill another part of their shared destiny. They had to break down the three tribes and unite them all as one on Edla.
Everyone had a right to be equal to everyone else. New species of life had just as much right as the three that first began on Edla. Edla spun around her husband, Sula, and her twins, Rali and Raza, united as one strong family force. This is what Edla wanted from her children on the ground.
Kahira was happy in the knowledge that her power of electricity was to be used to help her and Tenai form this new world of acceptance and peace. It would not harm anyone who was honest, worthy, truthful or loving.
For Kahira, there was no more fear. For no matter what the future held, she knew her powers would forever be used for the good of ALL who existed on Edla.
